Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider Anyone paying attention to the mobile marketplace knows that there's big money to be made in developing and launching apps. Whether you think you have an idea for the next Candy Crush or Uber or Postmates, taking your app from abstract thought to touchscreens across the world is a big undertaking, but not out of reach.

Through his class, instructor Tim Buchalka will take students through the process of programming apps for Android using Java. With project based lessons, you'll learn through building increasingly complex apps, starting with a simple "Welcome" app and working your way up until you're creating apps for photo collections, to-do lists, and contacts lists.

The course normally costs $197, but use the code "MARCHINSIDER" at checkout and you can enroll for just $19 through the end of March. Buchalka was recently named one of the top ten instructors on Udemy, and his course has already been taken by almost 36,000 students. If you want to learn to code and take your idea from outline to functioning app in the world's most popular app marketplace, this is a good place to start.
